MG47BP BELT FEED BULLPUP

With the extra parts I had left ever from making the tutorial for the MG47ES is am building a MG47ES ak based bullpup. I uses an AK barrel, trunnion, ES receiver, gas tube, gas pistion, FCG tray assy, RPD topcover assy. I am using a RPD topcover because it is about 2" shorter than the MG1 top cover and will allow me to shorten the receiver by 2" also.

Progress on MG47BP

I got the gripstick mounted last night and the bolt carrier drill and tapped 1/4-28UNF for the BC extension. I need to get a bolt which is the only AK thing I don't have yet. With that, I will thin the stripping lug and install the FCG tray and return spring and see if it feeds. I will come up with some sort of temporary operating handle and I have to study CTR's posts to find out where to put the feed cam stud. Pictures at 11:00 or 10:00 or what ever the news casters say???

MG47BP pictures

Here is some pictures of the trigger and how it actuates the FCG. The gas tube locking lever doubles as a safety by when rotated vertical rides in a half circle groove in the trigger bar blocking its rearward movement. When in the normal positioning the detent hole, the trigger bar can move freely. Sorry for the out of fucus images.

My face isn't all that pretty so it really isn't going to matter much, besides it's going to feed from a SAW-249 50 round "nut sack" mounted in the vertical direction. See Doubletapme's Bren barrel version on post no. 225 on the MG47 thread
